SLA in EduTopia

April 8, 2007 at 6:10 am · Filed under education

I got my April/May issue of edutopia yesterday and was thrilled to find an article about Philadelphia’s Science Leadership Academy, our friend, Chris Lehmann’s school.  It’s actually an amazing article that speaks very little about technology, and much more about trying to grow a new kind of environment for teaching and learning.  In it, Chris says,

When I hear people say it’s our job to create the twenty-first-century workforce, it scares the hell out of me.  Our job is to create twenty-first-century citizens.  We need workers, yes, but we also need scholars, activists, parents — compassionate, engaged people.  We’re not reinventing schools to create a new version of a trade school.  We’re reinventing schools to help kids be adaptable in a world that is changing at a blinding rate.

You can read the entire article at on its online shelf.

What I like about edutopia is that it seems to be celebrating, and as a result, lifting teacher culture.  It seems to be saying, out loud, that a teacher is a pretty cool thing to be.
